     %TRADITIONAL CORPORATION RESPONSIBILITY PROFIT+951102
     %STOCKHOLDERS COMMUNAL INTEGRITY PERSONAL GAIN 951102

     In  the  traditional western perception  the  primary
responsibility  of  a for-profit corporation is to make  a
profit  for  its stockholders.     Concerns  for  personal
integrity    and   communal   integrity   are    secondary
considerations---because  if  the  stock-holders  do   not
support  the  corporation as a profitable corporation  the
corporation  will fail.    Stockholders are  committed  to
making   a  profit  above  all---with  little  regard  for
personal integrity and communal integrity.  How the profit
is made is to most stockholders a secondary consideration.
Few of the stockholders care if the profit is made by:

     1.  Leading young people into addiction to tobacco.
     2.  Leading young people into addiction to alcohol.
     3.  Leading young and old into addiction to sugar.
     4.  Fueling wars among emerging nations.
     5.  Promoting the military industrial complex.
     6.  Splitting up extended families.
     7.  Promoting addiction to work.
     8.  Exploiting females managed by dominant males.
     9.  Encouraging  unhealthy sexual  desires/interests.
    10.  Polluting the environment.
    11.  Exhausting non-renewable resources.
    12.  Deceptive  advertising   to  stimulate  business.
    13.  Violations  of  Universal  Human  Rights  abroad.
    14.  Promoting extravagant spending.
    15.  Abandoning declining  neighborhoods  for profits.
    16.  Paying  the  rich  for  the  works  of  the poor.
    17.  Concentrating decision making powers in a few.

     When  personal and communal integrity are not central
considerations  in  motivating  stockholders and corporate
decision making---it is natural that there be personal and
communal  disintegration  due  to the motivations  of  the
stock market.
